Sciatica: Ayurvedic Solutions for Pain Relief and Recovery
Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back through the hips and buttocks and down each leg. It often occurs due to compression or irritation of the nerve, resulting in symptoms like sharp pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the affected leg. While conventional treatments focus on pain relief through medication or surgery, Ayurveda offers a natural and holistic approach to managing sciatica by addressing the root cause and promoting long-term healing.
Ayurvedic Approach to Sciatica
In Ayurveda, sciatica is primarily associated with an imbalance in Vata dosha, which governs movement in the body. When Vata becomes aggravated, it can lead to nerve irritation, pain, and stiffness in the lower back and legs. Ayurveda emphasizes restoring balance to Vata, improving circulation, and reducing inflammation to alleviate sciatica pain.

At Kapil Ayurveda Chikitsalayam, we offer a comprehensive approach to managing sciatica and providing long-term relief:
- Herbal Remedies: We use potent herbs like Ashwagandha, Shallaki, Turmeric, and Bala to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and promote the healing of nerve tissues.

- Abhyanga (Herbal Oil Massage): Medicated oils are used to massage the lower back and legs, easing muscle tension, improving blood flow, and soothing irritated nerves.
- Yoga and Stretching: Gentle yoga and stretching exercises are recommended to improve flexibility, strengthen the muscles, and relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve.
